The build number is on the gateway page.  It says "Build:" and then the number,
and then your node's load.  5100 is out, so you should probably upgrade,
regardless.

It's most likely temporary. It just took me a couple of tries to get
through to it, via web or traceroute, but it did come up. The person who
maintains that site is an active participant on these lists.

Your best bet is probably the freenet.log file generated in the
directory where you installed Freenet. Most of the entries won't make a
lot of sense to a new user, and if your log is over a couple of megs, I
wuold suggest shutting down Freenet, deleting freenet.log, then starting
up Freenet again. If it continues to hang up, send the last few entries
out of the log to this list.

Another possibility, is there an application on the local machine which
uses port ? That's the port that Freenet's web interface uses by
default, so if you have something else (such as a web proxy) running
locally on that port, it would cause some problems.

And finally what version of Java are you using? Some JREs run Freenet
perfectly while others seem to have problems.

All in all, don't be discouraged that it isn't working yet! It can take
some tweaks to get Freenet running properly.

Does that mean you're on Windows?  What build are you running?  5099?
Sorry...Yes, it's Windows XP Pro, SP2. Hmmm...right click/About 
says 0.5.2.8?

Thanks for the searching help.

Yes, go to freenetproject.org, click on "support" or "mailing lists" and then
the "archive" link for one of the lists.  It leads to gmane, which lets you
search past postings.

Though I can't say for sure, it's probably just temporarily unavailable to you. 
Keep trying.

Does that mean you're on Windows?  What build are you running?  5099?
